Nice game, it's a good story to tell and I hope you'll find what you seek for ;)

ekilibr 2013-12-16 17:44

Thanks a lot :) !

scifer 2013-12-17 08:42

Nicely done. Could have used a bit more graphically (You've used a lot of grey colours!) but the overall result has a nice retro feel. :D

romandtom 2013-12-17 09:28

Nice game :)
I'm not sure I have entirely understood the game.

ekilibr 2013-12-17 09:50

@romandtom : I've made this game as my Curriculum Vitae. I'm currently student in Game and Graphic Design, and i'm searching a 6 months internship. I took the Ludum Dare opportunity to make an original, interactive CV which present my abilities and all the games I've made :)

ekilibr 2013-12-17 09:52

@Scifer : The grey colors are used to make contrast with the three different games :) It also represent the grey color of the walls of my school (seems like a jail to me... :D)

jacksgamessucks 2013-12-17 09:52

ekilibr 2013-12-17 09:53

Thanks Jack !

Nice visuals and story

rhysd 2013-12-17 10:22

Good job and cool story, I hope you manage to get an internship somewhere!

ekilibr 2013-12-17 10:34

I hope too ! Thanks a lot. It's really nice to have support from other game creators :)

finefin 2013-12-17 12:20

can't play right now, because I'm on a mac. will test this later when I'm on my windoze pc...

minercraftguy 2013-12-17 12:34

Looks really detailed, love the way the game progressed

sdgusler 2013-12-17 12:37

I need a job too!

venks 2013-12-17 16:36

A very nice experience. I can definitely relate with the theme of this game.

ekilibr 2013-12-17 16:45

Thanks a lot :)

drkrunk 2013-12-17 16:50

This was interesting, I enjoyed it. There were some collision issues but they weren't bothersome.

ashravenn 2013-12-17 17:15

Really nice game and cool visuals !! I wish I had this idea^^

kalth-streil 2013-12-17 21:12

Nicely done! :D I liked the story, and hope you can get one job :)

psychomonster 2013-12-17 21:32

nice way to tell a story. Good job man... good luck and best wishes!

ekilibr 2013-12-17 21:36

I really thank you all :) So cool to have your support !

tinymoonstudios 2013-12-18 09:03

Very interesting game I really like the art and sound design. All together a very strong entry, well done.

yaru 2013-12-18 11:20

Simply awesome!

bcadren 2013-12-18 11:45

Relateable, only I've failed to find anything in months in general and usually work alone.

diptoman 2013-12-18 11:56

OMG the wiki! XD
Great stuff, hope this helps you find an internship!

ekilibr 2013-12-18 12:58

Thank you ! :) Appreciate all your comments, and I know that we're a lot goin through this ordeal :p
Thanks again for your support !

thewhitellama 2013-12-18 13:10

Nice game! I didn't understand everything what to do, but still nice atmosphere! Good luck!

atomicvikings 2013-12-18 13:33

I think I was not able to understand what I've done... But I think I've done something right... Keep on going :)

van-noctar 2013-12-18 13:34

Very good game!!! Funny, realistic and innovate!!

tobbez 2013-12-18 13:34

Nice graphic and sound. The text appearing from the right seems very counterintuitive. The gameplay could use some work.

ekilibr 2013-12-18 13:39

I know for the text...A little adjustement I had no time to fix. I'll do it as soon as possible !

toureiro 2013-12-18 13:42

Ah! Cool idea. Good luck with everything man.

ekilibr 2013-12-18 14:21

Thank you ! ;)

warzone 2013-12-18 14:49

Looks very interesting. Not sure exactly what to think of it though. Good job thoughc

ras-lyon 2013-12-18 16:02

I wish I could play this, but me have no PC :^(

ekilibr 2013-12-18 16:13

Sorry :( I'm actually searchin' how to do a Web version !

aviktorov 2013-12-18 16:42

I wish you good luck with your game development journey! I think you did the right thing and I like your style of doing games. Very personal. :)

mrblade 2013-12-18 18:23

Really good game! LOVED the art, the art is among the best art I have seen ALL LD. Nice sounds, solid story. Some of the game play is a bit tricky, like how you have jump to Shift, that messed me up and those small seconds are critical in these types of games. Very solid platforming and collision detection was amazing. I guess I have trained myself with poor collision detection and bad physics, so this game was really hard for me because it did those things so well. Haha. I got a bit confused on the level design and found it hard to know where I was supposed to go. Jumping felt a bit weak as I couldn't do some of the puzzles. I found some little 'holes' in the game where I could like glitch through walls and beat a puzzle quicker or something. Overall, VERY nice game!

whiteknife 2013-12-18 19:09

Cool concept and generally well-executed. If you plan on submitting this as it stands in English, you've got several grammar errors which, while not too bad, do detract from the professional feel of it if you intend to use this as a CV - I'd recommend having a native speaker read through it. Just some friendly advice!

rothens 2013-12-18 21:06

Nice one! :) I hope you find the internship ;) Good luck!

endesga 2013-12-19 04:05

Very interesting! :D
The graphics (imo) are lacking a little, but it was fun nonetheless!
Awesome!

ekilibr 2013-12-20 00:22

Thank you all for the support :) I take all of your advices ! They're really useful to me(I'll call a friend of mine, native english speaker. He'll tell me what goes wrong with the grammar, thanks ^^)

@MrBlade, well, your comment is awesome, and very precious. Thank you !

ekilibr 2013-12-20 00:40

@ENDESGA : for the lack of graphics, time was against me :( Leading this project alone forced me to make choices. But I certainly will take the time to make something cleaner as soon as possible. Thanks a lot for the feedback !

lightsoda 2013-12-22 01:33

Kept getting stuck on the first game on the red line, until I figured out you should go down on the text. The zelda/mario platformer had some of that IWBTG-type unforgiving platforming with the breaking platforms, which I consider bad game design. I'd say the little puzzle game with the tanks was the best one.

Overall I'd say within a limited timeframe, you should try and focus on one concept and polish it up as much as you can, I reckon you got spread thin between these three different types of games.

Best of luck on your internship hunt, I'm sure you'll do fine going from here.

archaeometrician 2013-12-23 03:31

I love the retro feeling, the graphics are really nice. Great job !

drludos 2013-12-26 19:29

Nice Little Game, I love the idea! Regarding the mini-games I really enjoyed the stealth one, and the first platform is very original, albeit a bit too difficult for me!

Bonne chance pour trouver un stage! :)

mmickyman 2013-12-26 19:55

L'intro qui donne ton CV aurait pu être distillée au long de la partie plutôt que faire une longue "cinématique".

Courage pour trouver un stage, je suis attelé à cela également !

ekilibr 2013-12-26 23:38

Thanks for your support !

Merci pour les encouragements :) Pour ce qui est de l'intro, elle aurait pu effectivement, mais cela aurait du se passer à coup de "flashback", puisque la cinématique retrace mon parcours AVANT cette année.
Et c'était plus long à amener à l'intéreur du jeu, sans perdre le joueur (qui sera un RH, pour le coup ^^).

ekilibr 2013-12-26 23:40

Et bon courage à toi aussi ! Tu es dans quelle école / ville ? :)

snoringfrog 2014-01-05 04:21

Interesting idea. I didn't care for it myself; however, I noticed in the comments that you said it is meant to be an interactive CV, and I think it seems to work well for that.

bradleysmith 2014-01-05 16:19

Good luck with you internship. :)
